There are different kinds of heat pumps that are in principle even more efficient than air-source devices. Instead of absorbing warmth from the air, you can opt to harvest heat …
By contrast, a heat pump works by circulating refrigerants and changing their pressure, and thus their temperature, both to grab thermal energy from outdoor air and then do the reverse …
So the demand is there, as is growing support from the federal and state governments. What’s lagging is the workforce—at least temporarily. And the US is nowhere near alone: Wherever …
Heat pumps are making headlines as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government continues to face pressure over its recent carbon price carve out. Trudeau’s government announced last month it would implement …
